Ignore the “Upgrade Now” message. You will be asked to upgrade for some of the other optional settings as well. It’s called advertising.

You can change the color of the link using the free version as I did. Scroll down to “Change the button color” and click that. The exact green color to match your other buttons is #82b440 (I checked it for you). Replace the HEX color with #82b440 in the field below the big blue screen, click Enter on your keyboard to save, then click the “Apply to _____” button.

You can also change the icon to show the wheelchair or eye symbol and move it to the upper left or lower left corners of your screen if you wish, although it looks fine now, not covering anything.

Depending on who your typical visitor is, you can change the widget language to French from that same list of options.

Open the UserWay widget panel, click “Manage” at the very bottom and log in. Click the “Change the button color” link and select the color you want by moving the black dot or just entering your preferred color’s hex code.

Dipak,

OK, I formally give up. I tried re-installing this plugin, making sure write permissions were in place for both .htaccess files. The add-on domain file only was changed correctly, which is fine.

I immediately had the same problem with the php code above not working; I tested it seven times. So I decided to uninstall the plugin, making sure write permissions were in place for both .htaccess files.

For your information, the plugin did NOT delete its code from the .htaccess file as it was being uninstalled; I had to do it manually.

Anyway, I cleaned up the php issue, cleared all caches and am back in business without the plugin. For me, it was just not meant to be.

Thanks for all your help!

Bo

Dipak,

Yes, you did. And I saw that but it slipped my mind; my bad.

I’m going to try installing WP Performance Score Booster one more time, since I just thought of something: I have TWO .htaccess files, since realramble.com is an add-on domain. The plugin changed the add-on domain .htaccess file but not the main domain’s file (I didn’t change permissions), so maybe that’s why I saw no improvement in performance.

I’ll do this later and let you know how it works out.

Bo

Dipak,

I resolved the problem by manually editing the .htaccess file and clearing the cache on my local computers and host server. All seems to be working well now.

Suggestion for you: This is the first plugin I’ve used that requires the user to actively change .htaccess permissions on installation/deletion. I may be wrong, but I think either by default or design, most WordPress users keep permissions at 644 or 744 for security reasons. You may want to adjust for that in your plugins or be more clear in your instructions regarding this. Some users may have no idea how to get into their back end and make those changes.

Regarding the php code that failed, here it is:

function getRefererPage( $form_tag)
{
        if ( $form_tag['name'] == 'referer-page' ) {
                $form_tag['values'][] = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
        }
        return $form_tag;
}
if ( !is_admin() ) {
        add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_tag', 'getRefererPage' );
}

This grabs the referring page and passes it to another page with a contact form. This may have nothing to do with your plugin, but it did fail on installation and works now after deletion, so you may want to take a peek at it.

Bo

Dipak,

Ugh, now I’ve got issues. I deleted both plugins to be safe, and the WP Performance Score Booster delete did NOT restore my .htaccess file to its original state. Thankfully I had a backup and was able to delete the code you added without affecting anything else.

Then I noticed that one of my functions.php scripts was not executing as it did before I installed the first or second plugin (probably the WP Super Minify one). Now I’m scrambling to clean that up, as it directly affects my business. Hopefully it’s a quick fix.

Dipak,

Thanks for the advice. I’m using WP Super Minify, and although it hasn’t improved my PageSpeed performance, it hasn’t crashed my site either. I’ll leave both plugins on for awhile and keep an eye on things.

Bo

Dipak,

I just installed your WP Super Minify, and I’m confused. The Pingdom scores on the pages I tested are all well over 90, some in the 96-97 range. (GTmetrix scores are over 90 as well.) The site appears to be absolutely flying on my computer and another one where the pages were not cached. It *feels* like improvements have been made, but my Google PageSpeed Insights needles have not budged one iota! It’s as if Google is testing a version of my site before the plugins were activated. Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks for your help!

Dipak,

Of course not, and the Pingdom score was about that before I installed the plugin. I’m referring to Google’s PageSpeed Insights results, which were 64/82 for the home page before the plugin and 64/82 after I installed it. (Other page results also did not change.) I was hoping to improve that score based on positive comments from other users who saw improvements in those metrics.

The page load speeds for just about all my pages are in the 2-3 second range, and I’m hoping to get that lower if possible. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The above solution works perfectly. Another way to address this is with CSS, which would work with or without the scroll plugin. Create a class:

/* Allow jump anchor text to appear somewhat below the top screen edge */
.anchor { position: relative;
    padding-top: 45px;
}

Change the pixel height to suit your needs. Then change the HTML anchor code as follows:

<a class="anchor" name="example-text"></a>

Jerry, thanks so much! That did the trick. I should have looked there myself, didn’t realize it would be that straightforward.

Thanks, Brady!

I’ll definitely play around with some options. The plugin itself seems to be elegant and simple to implement, so I’m sure I’ll be putting it to good use no matter what. Thank you for the fast responses, and keep up the good work!

Bo

Hi Brady,

Thanks for the quick response. I read the FAQ before downloading the plugin, and I thought this sentence would address my issue:

“However, if you defined a page for your posts in the Reading settings panel and assigned a custom sidebar to that page, that will work, too.”

Is there any way that can work? I have a large real estate website with a blog attached, not a blog with a few pages added, so your suggestion would work but would be cumbersome, especially to go back and edit dozens of existing pages. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much, John! I had the exact same problem since updating to the latest version of MaxButtons, and it was driving me crazy. Deactivating and activating again solved the problem immediately.
